A Fiat Hemi?

Cars have been a big part of my families life. We have always had at least 1 muscle car in the family and most of the time many.I was brought up with Mopars in the driveway in my teens. This is the brand I own and choose to follow. I admire and respect many other muscle cars and would have a barn full of all brands if I had the means to do it.
Who doesn't like a Vette or a Mustang? How about a 55-57 Chevy? I would like to have an old 55 Gasser. How about a Willys? Wow. I saw two bad ass 40 Willy's at the Woodward Dream Cruise this year traveling together. You could hear them coming for blocks away. This is over all the other muscle that was bumper to bumper. Way cool rides.
I have decided to put my time and energy into writing and documenting my passion for all things muscle car. I hope you enjoy the site and maybe even contribute. Start your own blog here. Once again we welcome all brands. So don't be shy because I am a Mopar owner. I do love horsepower and can't get enough of it!

A Fiat Hemi? Do you think that will happen? Not likely in my opinion and a big mistake. The Hemi IS Chrysler and its history. Will the Challenger survive?? How about the Charger? Where is this headed and what is Chrysler going to look like?
So, what is going to happen to our beloved Chrysler? Is it going to be
sold off in pieces...only a few brands picked up and the rest to wither
away?
Just when Chrysler was really on top of their game with building vehicles people want and bought this financial clamity strikes. Most of us want a truck with a Hemi and a Charger R/t with a Hemi sitting in our driveway. (and a Challenger in the garage!!)
I can't imagine Fiat keeping the Hemi alive or the muscle cars. I hope I am dead wrong, but people buckle to political pressure and we all know who is running the show these days. If the prez had his way we would all be driving someting like the smart car. Try going on a family vacation in that thing!
Now GM appear to be about to go to bankruptcy court. How did things get so bad, so quickly? It appears they were living on just in time money as well as parts. Pretty sad to think 2 of the former Big 3 could end in bankruptcy. Amazing really. What the hell is next????
So, can I see myself as a Ford man. It will take me awhile, but if they are it..of course I will support them. I will be able to buy used Dodges and Jeeps for quite a while..but new...who knows. Only time will tell.

ps. Yeah, I know I am a little late with this..been under the knife and recuperation was long indeed.
